Murray sold out to MTD a couple of years ago. MTD equipment can be noted by the "3 blades of grass at the end of the name", which includes, Yardman, Yard Machine, Cub Cadet and now MTD owns "Troy Built"

I had a yard machine until a few years ago. It was inexpensive but that baby ran forever and was lightweight. The only reason I got the John Deere was because I wanted a bagger; it helps to keep the weeds down (sucks the seeds right up!).

All riders are set up for a bagging system.
Is your John Deere set up where you can attach a canope over the seat?
So far JD is the only ones with that setup.

If it lasted that long it must have had a "Briggs and Stratton" engine on it.

John Deeres are built good,,, it's not a "ZTR" model is it?

(ZTR= "Zero Turn Radius) they can speen on a dime.
